Dear Members of the McGill community,
McGill is home to a vibrant international community, and many of us have roots in countries around the world. Global crises can affect us all.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has been a source of deep preoccupation to many of us. As Principal of our university, I am reminded of the need for – and the potential fragility of – stability and peace in order to pursue higher learning and the advancement of knowledge.

The following message was sent to the McGill Community via email on Wednesday January 19th, and contains a useful set of guidelines for the January 24th Return-to-Campus:
Dear Members of the McGill community,

We will continue to adapt as the pandemic evolves, as we have in the past.
